How do I hide unfilled fields in a form?

I know this code <?php echo $form->data['data']; ?> shows the field, but i didn't have success in some PHP code to hide the field.

Can somebody help me?

Hi cesarvelame,

What exactly is the problem? What do you need to hide and where?

I have the field "Motivo" unfilled and i need it hidden when is unfilled.

See this:

Hi cesarvelame,

OK, then you need to use PHP in the Email template. To do this you *must* have the Rich Text Editor turned off so that there is just a text area. Find the part of the template code that contains the <tr>. . .</tr> part for Motivo and change it like this:

<?php
if ( $form->data['Motivo'] ) {
?>
<tr>
 . . . 
</tr>
<?php
}
?>

Thanks, but I would use this code in the form, not in the email.

I did this and it works:

<?php
if ( $form->data['motivo'] ) {
echo "<label>Motivo</label>{motivo}";
}
?>

Hi cesarverlame,

Yes, that will work.

But why do you need to hide parts of the form? Just curious, I don't think I've seen that request before.

GreyHead, I did a small system with Chronoforms.

I have 4 forms:

Content Submission - fields name and content
Content Management - fields name, content, status (pending, rejected and published), link (when published) and motive (when rejected)
Content Status Query - field code (unique id gh)
Content Status View - fields name, status, link and motive ( both if filled by the admin)

People sends content and receives a code that they can query the status in any moment.

In the Status View form I wanted only to show the fields filled by the admin.

Did you understand? My english is crap, I´m sorry.

Hi motivo,

Yes that makes perfect sense, and yes the same kind of PHP will work in the form HTML too.
